Now I know the ABS works...

Just about 15 minutes ago, I was minding my own business just getting myself a sandwich for lunch. As I was driving down this two way street at about 25mph (with third lane for people to make left turns), some einstein in a white ford taurus in the turn lane decides "Hey, that Acura is about 30 feet away, I'm gonna turn left now!" My words: "MOTHERF*CKER" SCREECH......slam the brakes, my sandwich, jacket, and cd case in the front seat goes flying to the front floor, ABS kicks in feeling several pumps of the brakes (about 5)...DAMN, I must have skid about 20 feet! I was so pissed off I didn't have time to beep, or even give the guy the finger. I was going to follow the asshole into the lot and go house on his ass! Man I'm still pissed off at idiots like that, he didn't even acknowledge that anything was wrong, just a dumb look on his stupid face. I had about 10 witnesses (who were just staring) if I did hit him...shit, maybe I should have.

I'm leaving work early, people here can't drive for shit.

Y'know what's even funnier, right after this happened, I merged onto 237 W and this lady was doing a U-Turn on the ON RAMP ! HA HA HA! I laughed my ass off

Sounds like Miami. I've seen people even block ambulances with their sirens on down here, on purpose.
